For the past year, I've been reading Church of Spies: The Pope's War Against Hitler by Mark Riebling. I was reading it on my kindle. It was not a good experience. I found that there were too many characters to keep straight and it's not easy to flip pages back and forth, on a kindle. Yes, you can do it, but not as easy as a real book. Additionally, the book is heavily notated. It was too much trouble to go look up the referenced notes, so I didn't. I gave up on the book.
That is until it was selected as a book for my book club. OK, I gave Church of Spies another shot. Let me tell you, it ended up being a good spy thriller. I couldn't put it down. And was I surprised when I came to the end and I had only read 48% of the book. All the rest were the notes!
Well! I was impressed and so will you be when you read Church of Spies: The Pope's War Against Hitler. But don't buy it for kindle.
